GDT: 2024 Regular Season Thread

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Cardinals are bad. They are kidding themselves if they think they can contend anytime soon. Get Arenado to a contender.

Skenes' stuff is insane.

Skenes' stuff is insane.

It's exciting to sit here and imagine the 4-5 middling prospects the Pirates will get back when they trade him in 4 years

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Skenes' stuff is insane.

Yes it is, he is a freak.

 

[John Price]

Joe HR puts the Pirates on top.

 

[Unholy Diver]

74 pitches thru 4 innings, I wonder if he gets a chance to finish 5 and maybe qualify for the W

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

New York Mets get a base hit challenge (difficulty: impossible)

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Skenes is going to be good, but Cade Horton is going to be the better pitcher. Cubs figured out Skene towards the end.

Guy who throws really hard= check
Guy who's going to have injury history because he throws really hard= check
Generational pitcher= nope
6.75 ERA but goes home with Livvy Dunne= GOAT

My god I hope the Cardinals just tear it down. And it's not even the old pitcher signings that have been the problem. Gray has been great, Lynn and Gibson fine. (Holdovers Mikolas and Matz are terrible though)

Goldschmidt always starts slow but he looks like end of the line Chris Davis out there. Arenado is just above replacement level. Dylan Carlson doesn't have a hit yet (should have traded him in a package for Soto when you had the chance.) Jordan Walker had to be sent down and is trending the Carlson route (top prospect he isn't panning out).

Meanwhile just as we all predicted Tyler O'Neill is smacking homers around in Boston. He also predictably spent time on the DL, but still.

It's time to move on from Mozeliak. He's gone the Ken Holland route, was once good but the game has passed him by.

Perhaps Robles should have stayed in bed today

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Somehow the Rangers just got swept at Coors Field.

 

[Terry Yake]

it was so much fun watching him hit bombs. running into that wall in pittsburgh in '19 was pretty much the beginning of the end for his career
